Jul 19, 2019 | 1:59 PM

Westerner Days organizers have cancelled a pair of events scheduled for Friday, which is day three of the fair.

“The APCCA and Westerner Park have mutually agreed that The Red Deer Motors North American Pony Chuckwagons have been cancelled for this evening,” a statement reads.

“The safety of both the riders and the animals is of upmost importance to both organizations. After inspection of the track by both organizations we have mutually agreed to cancel the Chuckwagons for tonight.”

In addition, Friday’s fireworks have been postponed until tomorrow night due to weather conditions.

On day two of the fair, 11,862 people came through the gates, which is down substantially from day two of the fair in 2018. However, the weather was not conducive to Westerner Days enjoyment in the slightest.
